Lieutenant Governor Mike Stack gives his take on changing the way Pennsylvania votes for the lieutenant governor.

WILKES-BARRE (WOLF-TV) —

Pennsylvania may be changing the way we elect our lieutenant governor.

Senate Bill 761 would call for candidates to run as a team, like we vote for president.

Some former lieutenant governors support the change.

We asked Lieutenant Governor Mike Stack about this.

"You have to have a lieutenant governor who can succeed the governor in case anything happens bare minimum," he said. "So, however the people of Pennsylvania decide that they want to elect a lieutenant governor is fine with me and I think that requires a constitutional change if they want to change it."

Stack is running for re-election in the primary next May, and faces five opponents, just on the Democratic side.

You can hear more from the lieutenant governor this Sunday morning at 10:30 during the Volpe Report.
